Characters would be less for 1-9 as opposed to one through nine. It also depends on client preference. It is hard to train your fingers to do one or the other. I am old-school and have always done one through nine, 10, 11, 12, and so on. I have to retrain my fingers. I also have an account that requires I type the 1st the time the patient came in, and the other requirest the first time the patient came in.

are private surgical hospitals, and even with laparoscopies, cystoscopies, hysteroscopies, etc., there are small 1cm incisions, but you are very correct, with either upper OR lower endoscopies (colon or sigmoid) you would have the scope directly inserted..........does anyone else get hired on for "one or two" accounts and end up with a dozen??? just wondering after all this time....

Questions and jobs
I place a lot of blame on the companies and hospitals that hire untrained transcriptionists because they think anyone can do it, so why not hire people who work cheaply. A lot of these MTs have no medical knowledge and no idea how to do any kind of research. I have known on-site hospital MTs who did not even have reference books, either provided by the hospital or their own. You can't blame the MTs in this situation completely as they are expected to do work without the knowledge or tools.
